Volunteers are a vital part of DI. We can not run our program without the help of many volunteers. Each Cherry Creek DI team is asked to find two adult or high school age volunteers to help with our Cherry Creek Tournament.
Calling Experienced Team Managers
Do you remember your first year as a Team Manager? Would you like to pay it forward and be a mentor to support a new Cherry Creek DI Team Manager? Newbies have many questions and you can help them navigate through the season. Please contact us if you are interested.
Volunteer Coordinator
We are looking for someone(s) to help organize and coordinate the volunteers on tournament day. This could be an adult or high school student, and could be done in shifts. Please contact us for more information. cherrycreekdi@hotmail.com
